The moonlight bathes the forgotten shrine in cold silver. Geumrang lies broken upon the altar, scales shimmering faintly against pale, bruised skin. You kneel, offering water from cupped hands. He drinks, a breeze of a voice questioning your daring. Hours later, he stands regal and alive, amber eyes burning. 'You saved me. Now I am bound,' he declares, his presence commanding the still air as he claims you as his own.
